With Benchmarks, you can identify areas for improvement, track how you stack up against industry peers, and make data-informed decisions to optimise your recruitment strategy.

View your data side-by-side against the collective JobAdder community to gauge whether you need to increase your temp margin or placement fee percentage.

– Placement efficiency and margins
– Business development
– Jobs pipeline and sourcing

Events Reporting

After the introduction of the new Events functionality in JobAdder, we are now adding reports on interviews and meetings (scheduled using the new Events feature) to JobAdder Analytics.

As a Recruitment Manager, you need clear, actionable insights to optimise processes and improve consultant performance but limited reporting on key events like candidate interviews and client meetings makes this a challenge.

With Events Reporting in JobAdder Analytics, you can track consultant KPIs for interviews and meetings, compare individual performance over time, and uncover coaching opportunities by identifying high-performers—all in just a few clicks.

Seamless data exports and report sharing make collaboration effortless, enabling faster, smarter decision-making without the manual work. Unlock full visibility into your team’s trends and performance today.

Quick Starts

Quick Starts are templates for the Build Your Own functionality in JobAdder Analytics Advanced, giving you access to multiple report templates that you can further edit and save to help you get started with building your own report.

Quick Starts are ready-to-use and designed to make building custom reports easier and faster. These templates give you a starting point with pre-built report structures that can be edited and tailored to fit your business processes and goals.

Whether you’re looking to track team performance, monitor hiring trends, or gain insights specific to your operations, Quick Starts provide a foundation to help you get started confidently, even if report building feels complex.

By customising and saving these templates, you can create reports that deliver tailored insights with a variety of visualisations, dimensions and measures, and address real-life reporting requirements for recruiters.

New! More accurate ‘Consultants’ headings

We’re renaming ‘Consultant’ throughout JobAdder Analytics to be more descriptive and accurate, so you can better understand the meaning of your data.

The word ‘Consultant’ pops us in many places, like dashboard and look titles and filter and column names. But there’s not much consistency around what it means and who it refers to. It could mean:

  • The job owner (for example, the Jobs look on the Consultants dashboard)
  • The user who updated the application status (for example the Internal Interviews look on the Consultants dashboard)
  • The company owner (for example the Companies Added look on the Companies dashboard)

Sometimes the Consultant object can even vary between different columns within the same look!

In this update, you’ll see the following instances of ‘Consultant’ renamed:

  • Filters (for example, the Consultant is now the Placement Owner on the Active Contractors dashboard for Agency)
  • Column names and descriptions in looks (for example, the Consultant is now the Contact or Company Note Creator on the BD Activity Report for Agency)
  • Column names and descriptions in drill downs (for example, the Hire Owner and Job Owner will now be displayed on the Closed Jobs dashboard for In-House)

Updated! See open positions in Overview dashboard

We are adding one column to the Overview Details look on the Overview dashboard.

The new column is for displaying Open Positions– the number of positions against open job orders minus the count of hire records against open job orders.

We know you sometimes fill multiple positions per job order. Currently, we are only displaying the number of open jobs and the total count of positions against those open job orders.

Now you can don’t need to do any manual calculations to understand how many positions you still need to fill. Hooray!

We’ve also given the dashboard a sleek new look that aligns with the other dashboards.

New! Data mapping dashboard

Do any of these questions sound familiar?

  • I’ve updated an application to a new application status in JobAdder, but it’s not showing up in PowerAdder!
  • I’ve tracked my business development activity with a note in JobAdder, but it’s not reflected in PowerAdder!
  • Why are some application status updates counted towards the total of client interviews and others aren’t?
  • Why are some application status updates for one application counted twice towards my total of internal interviews?

To date, you’ve had no visibility of your PowerAdder data mapping beyond the initial account setup.

Over time, you or your team may have deleted or added new application statuses or note types, but these changes weren’t reflected in PowerAdder unless you reached out to our Customer Support or Customer Success team to do it.

Now, you can see at a glance how your JobAdder data is mapped into the PowerAdder platform.

This dashboard helps you understand what the metrics in PowerAdder are based on, whether an application status is in use in PowerAdder before deleting it from JobAdder, and so whether your mapping is still up to date.

Updated! Placement document compliance dashboard

It’s essential that all of your temp candidates have the correct documentation to remain compliant throughout their temporary placement.

To help you stay on top of this massive task, the Placement Document Compliance dashboard in JobAdder Analytics surfaces any placed candidates with expiring documents.

But wait. It just got better. Now you can also see the document type and key information about the placement!

You can also filter the dashboard by document type and placement details, allowing you to narrow down the list to those documents and placements that are relevant to compliance.

Then just schedule, export and action your report to keep your candidates compliant.

Available filters:

  • Document Group
  • Document Type (NEW)
  • Placement Recruiters Teams (NEW)
  • Expiry Date
  • Placement Recruiters Office (NEW)

Columns

  • Placement ID
  • Placement Job Title (NEW)
  • Placement Company (NEW)
  • Placement End Date (NEW)
  • Candidate Full Name
  • Candidate Email
  • Placement Recruiters
  • Placement Recruiters Office (NEW)
  • Placement Recruiters User Group (NEW)
  • Document Name (NEW)

New! Job progress snapshot dashboard

We’ve made it simple for you to understand how your jobs are progressing, and keep your clients and hiring managers in the loop. All your hard work, summarised in one dashboard.

The new Job Progress Snapshot dashboard visualises the pipeline for any of your open jobs, showing the progress you’ve made in filling roles, plus all the details for active applicants and unsuccessful candidates.

You can even set up automated reports to be emailed on schedule to your clients and hiring managers

In one simple dashboard, you’ll be able to see at a glance:

  • how many applications there are
  • where they are coming from
  • how many have been progressed, and
  • how many have been made unsuccessful

New! View and schedule individual looks

You don’t always need to be across your entire dashboard. Sometimes you just need a quick look at an individual report.

Now you can view and schedule those reports.

Whether you’re viewing it in PowerAdder, or getting it delivered to your email inbox, you can find exactly what you’re looking for right when you need it.

You can also view unlimited rows in an individual report, rather than being limited to 500 rows per table in your entire dashboard report.

So what sort of reports can you view?

  • Check your business pipeline’s health with the Estimated Fee Pipeline report every week
  • Celebrate your top billers with the Top Biller report every month

We’re also including improved report descriptions so you can easily identify whether the given report displays weekdays or calendar days.

New! Unique reports for both active and upcoming contractors

We’re taking the guesswork out of your active and upcoming contractors. No more changing placement start date and end date filters to separate active from upcoming placements!

  • Get a granular view of both active and upcoming temp and contract placements
  • Understand at a glance how many placements are expected to start and finish each week
  • Instantly forecast your weekly revenue from temp and contract placements

Here’s what you’ll see:

  • Weekly fees from active and upcoming placements
  • Active placements that show exactly how many contractors are currently working
  • Upcoming placements that show how many contractors are in the pipeline
  • More accurate tile names and descriptions that show how each metric is calculated
  • Placements and extensions beginning and ending this week

The Weekly fees tile can be filtered by date. The remaining tiles won’t be affected by any date filters.
